Sorry - wasn't thinking. Now reduced.

The Kent Air Ambulance landed about 300 metres from my house today. A great piece of flying to get close to the casualty. I wish I could have done the take-off more justice.

I've got a spare copy of RescuePro on mini CD if you'd like it, George.

Great stuff - looks like a spider with attitude!

BTW, does anyone else keep trying to squash that bug in your avatar?

Of course, but ask sensible questions and have the courtesy or common sense to look stuff up in the manual, etc. first.

When were you - or anyone else, come to that - repaid with an answer to the simplest of questions by this poster? Did we ever get an answer to the music copyright issue?

Someone who seems to believe that you can buy professionalism and results with equipment and software, without taking the trouble to learn even the most basic principles first is a just time-waster, in my view.

Granted, but a question like "Need urgent help on how <fill blank> works" when the answer is to be found in the manual, or in other parts/posts of this forum is just lazy.

Enough - it should be obvious that I feel strongly about this and I will not fall out with other respected members of this forum by continuing in this vein.

Well, it isn't hypothetical, as we know, but a diplomatically-phrased comment by ChrisA on the latest posting. I'm fairly sure that the reason we are visited in this way is that the "professional" forum he belongs to have swiftly worked out the level of knowledge, expertise and courtesy and found them all to be lacking.

I spent many hours answering in the past (mostly by PM to prevent public retorts), but without either effect or acknowledgement. Most advice was initially accepted then argued over, a common trait by this (hypothetical) poster, seen here many times.

I no longer even read any of his posts now, but having seen this thread - and the subject being so obvious - I briefly scanned the latest (hypothetical) thread. Nothing has changed, nor will it ever. It completely baffles me why anyone bothers to acknowledge someone who has, in effect, become nothing more than a troll.

Well, there you are - the "ball" drove me mad! I went to the web site to see what it was, only to find that it's the top of one of a number of railing posts.

Picasa2 handles and edits DNG RAW files - I don't use PEFs so can't comment.
